Southern Style Collard Greens
Southern Style Collard Greens is one of my favorite thanksgiving dishes. I didn’t grow up eating collard greens and after living in the using for many years and in the South for over 10 years, I’ve grown to love it. I’m shared a Pressure Cooker Collard Greens as well as Collard Greens cooked in Coconut Milk. This southern style collard green is made with smoked turkey wings which packs a ton of flavor. The smoked turkey is cooked until it’s soft enough to be shredded. As it cook the bold and smoky flavor from the wings infused into the broth as well as the collard greens.
This is an easy dish that can be made ahead as well, as a matter of fact, it’s even better when it sits overnight. Make ahead side dishes helps to take some of the stress off of holiday cooking. Dishes like this as well as Macaroni and Cheese, Scalloped Potatoes and desserts like Apple Cobbler or Sweet Potato Pie are ideal to be made ahead. The savory dishes warm up with easy and just makes things easier on the big day.
